Denmark’s prime minister says she would make a different choice if she had young children, based on concerns about social media. In comments reported by news outlets, she says that rather than allowing small children to use social platforms, she would prefer they not engage with them at all. She adds that, in her view, if she had young children, she would rather they “smoke” than use social media. The remarks are presented as a personal judgment rather than a government policy, and sources focus on the prime minister’s stated preference and the reaction it draws. The articles do not indicate that Denmark has changed laws or introduced new rules as a result of the comments. The statements are framed as part of a wider discussion about the potential harms of early exposure to social media and how parents might weigh risks and benefits.
